NEW YoRK, Feb. 20.-The belief that
DR.. McGlynn will be reinstated in St.
Stephens Church was the prevailing SEN
timent and topic of conversation among
the parishioners at the church to-day. II
is said that DR.. MoGlynn has received
letters not only from many priests OF the
Roman Catholic Church in this country
and in Europe, but he has also letters
from several cardinals and bishops, com.
mending his course and approving his
strength of purpose In holding TO his
opinions on property in land, which are,
they say, consistent with the doctrines of
the church.
The theory now entertained by DR..
MoGlynn's friends is that he will be rein
stated as pastor of st. Stephens, that he
will return TO his home in the reOtory,
and that he will then go TO Rome. He
will never go to Rome, 1t is said, unless
he goes as the pastor of st. Stephens.
The reinstatement of the doctor, II Is be.
lieved, will take place before April 10th,
which is Easter Sunday. DR.. McGlynn'f

rho Trade DolIar am.

Philadelphia North American.
The Senate has done well to recede
from its position on the trade dollar anes-
ton, and to consent, for the sake Of get
ting the bill through, that the amount Of
trade dollars redeenoable should not be
included in the minimum monthly silver
coinage required by law. This agrees
with the view which the North american
has taken Of the matter, and it is in
accordance with the common sense and
equities Of the case. II is true that the
Senate was contending for principle,
and, as we think, sound one but there
WAS more than one principle at stake, and
1t was more important that the good faith
of the United State should be maintained
than that an almost inappreciable increase
in silver coinage should be prevented
We feel special and excusable gratifca
ton in the final passage Of this Trad,
Dollar Redemption bill, for we havr
Btrenuously favored it first, last and al
the time. Now let the President appent
his signature and great wrong will hay
been righted.

death to be absolutely painless, the cleo

ROME, Feb. 20.-Cardinal Gibbons has
been very busy since his arrival here.
No definite information of the business of
the Propaganda is known, but it is GER
tain that the great questions touching
Catholic interests in America will be con.
sidered carefully. Cardinal Gibbons is
expected to express an opinion on all
questions submitted for his views because
of his great acquaintance with the present
American questions and his strong love of
American institutions. 1t is difficult to
believe that the conclusion reached will
be of an unfavorable character. Time is
still required for the settlement of the
cardinals in the Curia.
Bishop Carr, of Melbourne, and Keane,
of Richmond, Va, congratulated the
